12:2 Days of Darkness How are we to handle the difficult seasons of life when suffering increases with age? We experience grief as we say good-bye to family members and friends who go to be with the Lord. A lack of income makes managing our expenses more challenging. During these difficult days, we remind ourselves of what we know about our creator and his plan for us.
12:13-14 Final Conclusion King Solomon’s final words focus on a person’s relationship with God. All of the concerns of life, with its pleasures and temptations, are irrelevant to the king. Even though he faces death, Solomon realizes that God’s judgment is the real equalizer, as God knows even our secret actions and motivations. Everyone who is in relationship with him through Jesus Christ can face that final judgment with confidence; that is true wisdom.
